The Republicans and Democrats in the US have sort of switched places over the years.
As for the two main parties over here we are already slightly moving away from the left - right axis as some of the spending promised by the Conservatives in the last General Election was very Unconservative (and it remains to be seen if it happens). People are more voting for a party that reflects their value system than economic interests and Boris Johnson got his majority by acknowledging a lot of people in the country haven't done well out of globalisation and pledging to return power to the UK. In the meantime Corbyn was perceived as not been on the same page as them (although ironically he was a reluctant supporter of the EU at best).
If a Benn like siege economy socialist ever took charge of the Labour Party and/or the Conservatives return to being the party of business then the positions could swap.
For the record I am a Labour man but had time for the Hesletines and Clarkes of this world.
